The Body Shop Offer Tips and Hints on Beauty Advice

PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 08, 2008 – The Body Shop, the UK based ethical cosmetics company, are inviting customers to visit The Lounge, a new section on their website which outlines how to make the most of products from The Body Shop.

This section of the site was added following the recent global expansion of the website (http://www.thebodyshop.com/global/ ).

The Lounge features images, text and video content featuring The Body Shop’s products and offers advice on how to use them in order to gain the best results from them.

Customers visiting The Lounge will find information on the new Nature's Minerals Make Up range from The Body Shop with video clips showing how to apply the make up correctly and how to achieve different looks.

Tips and hints are also available from international make up artist and beauty representative for The Body Shop, Chase Aston.  As the make up stylist for 57 covers of Cosmo magazine as well as numerous covers and editorials for Vogue and Elle, few are in a better position to offer make up advice to The Body Shop's customers.

There is also advice on how to identify the best products for you from the recently released Wellbeing Range (http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/icat/wb&bklist=icat,3,shop,wb ). The Wellbeing Diagnostic tool helps customers decide which products in the new Wellbeing range are right for their lifestyles; Total Energy, Divine Calm, Deep Sleep or Pure Detox.

Visitors can also keep up to date with The Body Shop's Community Trade (http://www.thebodyshop.com/_en/_ww/values-campaigns/comm ... ) program which aims to benefit the communities from where the Body Shop's ingredients are sourced.

The Lounge is open and online now at www.thebodyshop.com/global
